Pop star Madison Beer was spotted at SoFi Stadium on Thursday night, cheering on her boyfriend, quarterback Justin Herbert, as the Los Angeles Chargers secured a dramatic 28-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The game was decided in the final seconds, with Herbert orchestrating a decisive drive to seal the victory. Beer’s presence on the sidelines has become a familiar sight this season, adding a unique pop culture element to the Chargers’ campaign.
Herbert threw for three touchdowns and over 300 yards, according to the Associated Press, leading the Chargers to a crucial win that keeps them in the AFC playoff hunt.
Beer, 26, has been a regular at Chargers games since the couple’s relationship became public during Week 5 against Washington, when cameras captured a sideline kiss before kickoff. She was once again seen wearing Herbert’s No. 10 jersey, drawing cheers from fans in attendance.
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley praised Herbert’s composure: “Justin continues to show why he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league. That final drive was textbook execution.”
Fans on social media also highlighted Beer’s presence, with some jokingly calling her Herbert’s “good luck charm.” NFL analysts noted the increased media attention surrounding the Chargers since the couple went public.
The Chargers’ victory improves their record to 5-3, keeping them firmly in the playoff picture. Herbert’s consistency, paired with the off-field spotlight from his relationship with Beer, has elevated the team’s visibility beyond football circles.
For the franchise, the pairing of a star quarterback and a Grammy-nominated artist has created crossover appeal, drawing new fans and boosting the team’s cultural relevance.
The Chargers will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, a pivotal divisional matchup. Beer is expected to continue her sideline support as the team pushes deeper into the season.
